It's all in vain, she will only do meaningless things.

Jing Jiaren knew it, but didn't listen to Ximen Longting's advice.

The clear sound of leather shoes hitting the mirror's ground...

No one comes to this library, unless it's Ximen Longting.

Jing Jiaren was so tired that she leaned against the bookcase and gasped softly: "Why did you come back so early today?"

There is no sound.

The unhurried footsteps carried an evil arrogance, which was different from Ximen Longting's walking habits in the past.

Jing Jiaren frowned slightly and turned back sharply——

She happened to see the man approaching, standing a few feet away from her, with a smile on his lips: "Pregnant women have been putting themselves in such a tiring state, aren't you afraid that your body won't be able to bear it?"

Jing Jiaren's face didn't look good: "It's you, what are you doing here!?"

"I'm here to look for a book. I won't disturb you, right?"

"It's very obstructive, please leave!"

"This is Master Ximen's territory." Leng Lintian took a few steps closer, "What are you looking for here?"

"It's none of your business to find anything!" Jing Jiaren's whole body was alienated and on guard, "The two slaps last time were not enough, and you are asking for trouble? Get out of here!"

There was no one else here, just her and Leng Lintian. Every time he showed up... it was very troublesome.

"You've lost weight." He suddenly reached out and touched her face, "Have you not slept well these past few days?"

Jing Jiaren suddenly opened his hand, reacted violently, and took a few steps back.

"I heard that you have been here in the library these days. Pregnant women should go out more often, bask in the sun, and breathe the air." He didn't mind her rejection at all.

"You don't have to worry about my business!"

"Really?" Leng Lintian stood up straight and picked at the bookshelf with his slender fingers, "I know what you are looking for."

Does he even know what she is looking for?

She has been in the library these days, and even he knows about it. It seems that Master Ximen also knows about it. In fact, she can't hide it.

But since Mr. Ximen didn't send anyone to stop her, Jing Jiaren boldly followed her idea.

"The day you went to the Rose Garden, I knew what you were looking for." He curled his lips.

Jing Jiaren looked at him in surprise.

"You are only one step away from getting the answer you want, so why don't you take a few more steps forward?"

"..."

"That villa was indeed built by Mr. Ximen for his beloved woman."

Jing Jiaren looked at him questioningly.

"I originally planned to tell you everything, but you made me very sad." Leng Lintian casually took out a book and flipped through it. His posture as he stood there leisurely was full of evil power, "I think so.

I want to help you, but you reject me thousands of miles away."

"If that's the case, then why did you come to me!?" Jing Jiaren asked cautiously.

"The price is too great. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it." He closed the book and inserted it back. "I'm afraid you will collapse."

He suddenly took a few steps closer to her, with a mysterious aura.

Jing Jiaren took a big step back: "Don't come close to me! What on earth do you want to say!?"

"You and Ximen Longting are following in the footsteps of Master Ximen."

In one word, a sword seals the throat.

"Since you don't believe me, I'm leaving."

Leng Lintian suddenly turned around and was about to leave, the sound of footsteps getting further and further away.

Jing Jiaren was so angry that she clenched her fists. This bastard, half of what he said was intentional——

Let him go, she doesn't believe anyone, he is just talking nonsense.
